An avalanche kills a man while he was searching for his two dogs in northern Italy

Italian media reported that a 60-year-old man died yesterday in an avalanche in northern Italy while he was searching for his two dogs.

Michele Puga, a Romanian, was initially caught off guard by the bad weather and stranded on Saturday while hiking with two huskies in the Valle Spluga mountains in northern Italy's Sondrio province near the border with Switzerland, the ANSA news agency reported.

After calling for help, he made it back down the valley on his own on Saturday night.

The rescuers located the two dogs, but they were unable to get them to follow them, so the man decided to return to the mountains to return the two dogs, but an avalanche surprised him at an altitude of about two thousand meters, and he died.
